'But First and Foremost, I Remember Mama' On November 1, 24 students went back 69 years in time forthe opening of the play I Remember Mama. The play centered around a daugh- ter's remembrance of her home life in a Norwegian immigrant family in San Francisco. Mama solved many prob- lems for the family Qespecially financial crisesb, and encouraged Katrin's writer aspirations. Also, Mama became an old fashioned Ann Landers when Uncle Chris and Aunt Trina each were having marital problems. The play was both humerous and serious and was greatly enjoyed by the audiences for allfour performances. Also appreciated was the Norwegian accent. Ve Go! and Ya were often mimicked by more than the cast. This was the first heavily costumed play in the history of Bonanza's thea- tre. Lori Fregeau was costume Coordi- nator and designed and sewed many of the costumes. The set was also unique. A wooden revolving platform with 24 casters was built so scenes could be quickly changed. Four acting areas were used. The play was directed by Miss Carol Lommen, and the technical director was Mrs. Betty Holihan. The technical theatre class constructed the set, and made up most of the crew. A Christine and Nels find Uncle Chris' loud voice frightening. p The soda clerk takes the order for Katrin's very first ice cream soda. Mama was always going to buy a I X rw .4 fill: herself a coat when there was enough money, only there never was. 34 i remember mama lt's a mastoidi I'm afraid we'll have to opera te.
